"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:20

{These are some photos I have taken over the last year or so. I have been amazed to consistently find the "heart" of God in his creation...reminding me of His love and my call to love.}

"To love as Christ loves is to let our love be a practical thing and not a sentimental thing."

Sir Charles Villiers Stanford

"Love is an act of endless forgiveness." Jean Vanier

"The sword of the peaceful warrior is love." Gary Amirault

"A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things." John of the Cross

"If love is the soul of Christian existence, it must be at the heart of every other Christian virtue. Thus, for example, justice without love is legalism; faith without love is ideology; hope without love is self-centeredness; forgiveness without love is self-abasement; fortitude without love is recklessness; generosity without love is extravagance; care without love is mere duty; fidelity without love is servitude. Every virtue is an expression of love. No virtue is really a virtue unless it is permeated, or informed, by love."

just a thought, but maybe since protein elicits a measurable insulin reaction which is longer lasting than carbs, and frequent folk who consume 4-6 occasions a working day are receiving that extended level-raised insulin from protein coupled with even far more raised insulin with carbs and constant feedings, are storing body fat and giving carbs a bad name. prolly would lead to inflammation and insulin resistance too.

My personal thoughts and insights on spirituality and faith. My aim is to help people navigate this post-modern world of religion, sex and pop culture with their integrity, identity and faith intact. This is NOT a blog about correct theology, dogma and apologetics. I am from a non-denominational background raised on the mission fields of the Pacific and Asia. I don't label myself Arminian, certainly not Calvinist, not Reformed or Emergent. I do however love Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I also love studying His Word. My aim is to speak biblical based, Christ-centered truth here and encourage people to seek out their own answers. My hope is that people will think differently about Christianity; at the very least ask some questions. Getting out of the box, doing away with fear and confusion but staying grounded in the Word which is truth and love. So these are a collection of things that I have learned over the years, things I am still learning, and things that I hope to learn more about. I don't think anyone ever has all the answers but I hope I have found some. I still have a lot of questions too. "But by the grace of God I am what I am..."
1 Cor. 15:10
